Day One
Start your excursion in Shipshewana. Spend your morning at Menno-Hof and discover the amazing history of the Amish and Mennonite religions. This museum is in a unique setting, an Amish-built barn, and tells the story with multimedia presentations, historical environments and colorful displays.

Enjoy lunch at the Blue Gate Restaurant, which offers exceptional service, down-home family-style dinners and more than 25 pie choices! An afternoon of shopping beckons. Whether it's the Riegsecker Marketplace, the Farmstead Antique Gallery, or one of more than 70 other shops in the downtown area you're sure to find something you'll want.

For dinner like no other, head to the small town of Middlebury and grab a seat at the Das Dutchman Essenhaus. They are famous for their homemade noodles, pies and breads. Stay overnight at the Essenhaus Inn and Conference Center where you'll enjoy unique décor which reflects the local community and culture.

Day Two
Spend the day at Amish Acres in Nappanee. Tour this restored 80-acre Old Order Amish farmstead and learn about this 300 year-old culture still thriving in America today. Enjoy their famous Amish Threshers dinner - a hearty family-style meal of hearth-baked bread, fried chicken, cider baked ham, Indiana turkey, and more. Then catch a show at their Round Barn Theatre offering production such as Fiddler on the Roof, Bye Bye Birdie, and their famed Plain and Fancy.
